quotes & reviews
"Nicholas Saunders and Frank Dwyer have done us a terrific service by this translation, which is learned, witty, sharp, and completely playable. A revelatory read that demands production." – Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, New York Public Theater
"...a fascinating, highly entertaining look at the dark side of post revolutionary Russia." – Booklist
"A tragic, comic classic...A wonderful translation." – Nicholas von Hoffman, historian, columnist, pundit, playwright
"What Bulgakov...got away with is hilarious. That voice is beautifully intact in Saunders’ and Dwyer’s seamless joining of the play’s two original Russian versions, and in their wonderfully speakable and playable English translation." – Leon Katz, dramaturg, playwright
